Ojiko Chase (c) FA: Ojiko

Cody and Story (c) Mellow Tone


A Friday night is meant to be spent relaxing or unwinding in some way. Many folks have their typical routines and rituals; others prefer something unplanned to get away from structure for once. In the case of one bunny hybrid, her typical Friday evening was spent lounging on her couch in relaxed clothing playing video games. Typically she did this alone, but that night in particular was a bit of a break in the mold.

A friend of hers was coming to spend the weekend in her place while he came to meet up with some other friends of his. Those friends supposedly had no room for him to stay- though he did say he preferred to stay with someone that wasn't likely to be very rowdy and drag him to parties all night. Ojiko hadn't known Cody for longer than about six months, but in the time that they had been able to spend together in his visits, she felt comfortable with offering to let him stay over.

She had grown comfortable talking to Cody about some things, and felt a slight adoration towards him when she knew he was actually listening to her. It was great to have a male friend she could talk to that didn't mind when she went a little overboard with her ramblings either, though there have been times when he seemed a little annoyed when she started to get a little hyperactive. He let her down easy though, never saying a harsh word to her and speaking in his calmly sarcastic manner.

Her ears and tail perked suddenly at sound of knocking on her door. She paused the game and scurried over to answer it with a big smile on her face. Upon opening her door, she was met with his warm smile and tired eyes from a long day of driving. She squeaked out a 'hi' and he let out a fatigued 'hey' at the same time before they gave each other a friendly hug. She swore she could still smell the pleasant scents of the forest he loved to explore on him.

"It's so good to see you again!" she said as she pulled away and moved to let him inside.

"You too," he said as he stepped in, dropping his bag next to the door, "Thanks again for letting me crash here! As much as I love hanging out with those guys, I don't think I'd be able to get any peace and quiet staying with them."

"Of course, I'm happy to help!" she said cheerfully as she shut the door. "You look pretty worn out Cody! Did you want to sleep now or wait? Oh, wait, did you eat yet? I think I have something I can whip up really quick-"

He chuckled softly, "Nah, don't worry, I met up with the guys for dinner before I came here."

"Oh, right, you did mention that before. Sorry, I forgot," she said with a small, embarrassed giggle.

"No worries! And no way I'd just want to sleep now when I just got here. We need to catch up!"

"Yay!" she exclaimed with cute widened eyes while her tail made a goofy smirk as it swished up. "Go ahead and make yourself at home then! I'll go get us something to drink if you want anything."

For the next hour-and-a-half they conversed about work, friends, and went on the occasional rabbit trail with random subjects. The TV had been switched to cable, but it was mostly there for background noise. They got more than a few good laughs out of each other, and eventually Ojiko started to get into her hyperactive mode and take up most of the conversation. She started to get a little bouncy on the couch talking about a cute little kid in the park who tried to hug her tail and started rambling about how adorable the situation was before Cody started chuckling.

She looked at him curiously as she said, "What?"

"Nothing, it's just that- for a minute- it seemed like you just turned into a little kid yourself." He smirked playfully, tilting his mug to catch the final drop of his tea.

Ojiko flushed a little, hugging her knees in bashfully. "Sorry, I know I can get a little annoying when I do that."

"Nah, it wasn't annoying at all," he said casually with his familiar warm smile. "It was kinda cute actually."

She blushed deeply at that. It was hard enough for her to take a compliment, but hearing Cody call her 'cute' was a surefire way to make her super embarrassed. Despite that, she still smiled; glad that her knees hid the bottom part of her face.

They sat in near silence for a while, only half watching the mediocre sitcom being aired. Ojiko was still wide awake, but not attentive to anything else but wanting to recover from her sudden shyness. Cody didn't seem to mind her being clammed up, but didn't seem any more attentive to the sitcom than she was. Every other time she chanced a look at him he was either staring at the TV with half-lidded eyes or involuntarily bobbing his head as he came close to a lapse of consciousness. She wanted to let him just drift off to sleep, but she didn't want to do so while she was still in her less-than-talkative state.

Eventually she started to feel her embarrassment ebb away, but in the moment she felt ready to wish him a good night and show him where he was sleeping, she suddenly felt him flop unconsciously onto her shoulder. She let out a surprised squeak as she flinched, which startled Cody back into consciousness.

He stared for a moment, slightly dazed, before realizing how he was positioned. He slowly got up and rubbed his eyes. "Sorry about that," he said tiredly, but with sincere apology. "Forgot where I was for a moment."

Though still slightly startled, she couldn't help but look back at him questioningly.

The male wolf leaned back and let out a small sigh before clarifying. "It's not much different to the way Sammy and I hang out before bed, and it usually ends up with the two of us being a little... 'cuddly' together."

"Oh," was all the bunny hybrid could think to say. She did understand what he meant though. He was on intimate terms with his childhood friend and roommate, Samantha. They weren't a couple, but she knew they cared a lot for each other.

"Sammy's been pretty busy lately though, and as silly as it sounds I've been kinda missing her being such a cuddle-bug."

Ojiko couldn't help but smile again, though she was still hiding it behind her folded knees.

Cody sighed again as he brushed back some strands of hair from his face. "I guess I'm tired enough that I forgot I wasn't even home. I didn't mean to seem like I was being invasive or anything."

"No," she said, if a bit meekly. She paused for a second, thinking of what she wanted to say and how to say it. "It's okay. I can understand." She wasn't completely sure she did but she ran with it anyway. "To be honest, I wouldn't mind if you needed a shoulder to lean on right now... or if you wanted someone on yours instead?" She didn't mean for it to sound like a question, but she was feeling a little muddled with nervousness.

Cody was looking at her curiously this time.

Ojiko averted her eyes timidly and stammered an amendment. "I mean- well... I have thought about something like this before, but I -uh- I didn't want to say anything. You've just been so nice to be around since I met you, and I guess I just started feeling more, um... I guess, smitten by you." Her eyes widened and her breath caught for a moment when she realized what she had just said. She balled up even more and screwed her eyes shut as she started spewing apologies. "Oh god! Sorry, Sorry! I didn't mean to say that! Now you must feel weird! Oh god why did I even-" but she stopped there, because she could now feel his strong arm gently wrap around her, and he sidled closer to her until she could feel their hips touch.

She opened her eyes again, slowly turning her head to face the wolf bearing his warmest, most gentle smile she had even seen on him. He lightly pulled her closer, and she felt as if she were melting in his grasp. Her arms and legs relaxed, even though a bubbly mirth was building inside of her. He leaned in and kissed her on the forehead, then whispered in one of her now perked ears, "Thank you Oji!"

She smiled brightly, looking up at him again with sparklingly smitten eyes before she leaned in to nuzzle against his chest, being mindful not to poke him with her oddly shaped antlers. He gently rubbed up and down her shoulder, and she cooed softly as she rested her head on his warm and well-muscled chest. Scents of the forest were back in her nostrils again, and she closed her eyes as she imagined him sitting serenely in a tall pine.

She opened her eyes when she felt his fingers grace lightly upon her antlers. She made no move to make him stop, though it gave her body an odd sort of tingle as she felt him do it.

"I've always loved your antlers Oji," he said softly, and she started to flush again. "They're so unique, and really beautiful... they remind me of a visit I made to Central California when I was a kid. The trees and the landscape were so beautiful around there, especially near the coast. So beautiful it was magical..." he trailed off for a moment as he reminisced, his fingers still tracing the outlines of her antlers. Soon she felt his fingers trace their way further down to caress her cheek and she leaned back up to look at him. He was looking back at her with admiration, "You're pretty magical in your own way as well."

Ojiko felt herself grow very hot when he said that and her mind started to feel fogged. "Cody..." was all she could seem to manage to say, but it was said with genuine adoration.

He cautiously started to lean in, his muzzle just barely an inch away from her lips before he stopped, waiting to see what she'd do. She didn't back away, and looked straight into his eyes as she steeled herself and slowly closed the gap. As their lips met, she felt her body buzz with elation. He wrapped bother arms around her, and she did the same around his waist.

Neither could say how long they held their kiss, but to both it was nothing short of blissful as well as comforting. They pulled away just to nuzzle each other, hugging tightly as they did.

For a while they just sat there nestled together, the sound of the TV seeming miles away as they listened more to each other's breathing. Ojiko started lightly brushing her fingers through his hair, sometimes curling a few strands of it around one finger before letting them slip away. She wondered how he got it to feel so soft and smooth.

Cody started to lightly nuzzle just under the base of one of Ojiko's ears. An odd, but not unpleasant, shiver went through her as he did so, and she could feel butterflies fluttering in her belly when she felt him breath down her neck. A slight whimper escaped her when she felt his hand caress her waist and the other trailing down to the base of her tail; which loomed over the both of them, swaying and swooping slightly with her sudden excitement.

"Cody, what are you...?"

He paused in his actions. "Should I stop?"

It seemed like a silly question at first. Had she not been so flustered, she might have chuckled.

"N-no," she eventually stammered. "But, I do have to ask... why with me?"

"Well, you're really cute for one," he responded as his hands continued their caressing, smiling lightheartedly as he did so. "And you're kind, very sweet, and just very pleasant to be around." He lightly kissed her neck, which sent another pleasant shiver through her. "I just feel like doing something special for you now; if you're okay with it that is."

She blushed even harder at his words, smiling meekly as she said, "I think you're a little late to be asking permission." She wanted it to sound sarcastic, but it ended up sounding like the words of a shy little girl trying to tell someone off.

He gave a slight chuckle regardless. "You got me there, but it never hurts to make sure in cases like this." He pulled away enough to look her in the eyes, his kind and warm smile on his muzzle again as he asked again. "Do you want me to stop?"

She felt her heart flutter. His calming smile and his gentlemanly manner made her fall for him more than before. She almost pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

Her tail seemed to want to respond for her as it wrapped around his shoulders, seeming to smile goofily as it gave his cheek a small lick.

Cody chuckled as he squirmed away involuntarily from her tail. "Is that a no from you, or is it just your tail talking right now?"

She chuckled with him before she took the initiative to lean in for another quick kiss. Her tail wrapped around the both of them like a snaky scarf before she pulled away to say, "Please continue!"

His warm smile seemed to glow as he embraced her again. One hand wrapped around her waist while the other started to caress her rear. She squeaked with delight as he started kissing her neck again, this time more passionately.

She started to feel really hot all of a sudden. Her mind grew foggier as Cody kept up his barrage of kisses all over her neck and down to her collarbone. His hands stared to get invasive, one slipping under her shirt and the other under the waistband of her sweatpants. The hand under her shirt teased its way along her waist while the other gently started to grope her butt. She felt a pleasant and exciting tingling sensation starting to mix itself with her sudden heat, especially down between her legs.

Cody let up on his kisses. Ojiko looked at him curiously, about to ask him why he stopped.

"I think it'd be best if we moved to your bedroom... if you're okay with that."

Though her muddled minded wanted him to keep going right away her romantic side won over. If there was any other place she wanted to be in that moment, it was with him in her bed. She simply nodded her head. Before she could even move to get up, Cody had slipped his arms behind her back and under her legs. She gave a small squeak of surprised glee as she felt herself being lifted off the couch, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt weightless in his arms, and he carried her with ease as she quietly directed him to her bedroom.

When they arrived he gently laid her on the bed, kneeling in front of her and then wrapping his arms around her. He nuzzled against her belly, and Ojiko flushed even deeper while nervously biting her bottom lip.

He slowly lifted her sweater so he could nuzzle on the bare fur of her tummy. It tickled, but she started to feel more tingly than giggly because of it. She heard him give a pleasant hum as he continued nuzzling her. "You're so warm!"

Ojiko could only smile meekly at his words. She felt too afraid to say anything at that moment, feeling like it may come out as something silly.

He relinquished his hold on her for a moment as he removed his shirt. As he stood she could see that his features were well defined, but they somehow seemed softer and less menacing than the features of the regular gym goer. She found that more attractive than the simple fact that he was well muscled at all.

He proceeded to remove her sweater, and she shivered slightly out of nerves and the slight chill of the room. He had her lay back, and her tail hovered over them as Cody kneeled down again, this time pulling Ojiko's sweatpants and underwear down with him. Her whole body tensed while her tail fidgeted above them, but she still made no move to have him stop. As anxious as she was, she really wanted this to happen; she had hoped, deep down, that something like this would happen.

She heard the garments flop to some unknown part of the room, then shivered again when Cody placed his hands gently on her thighs. She closed her eyes, trying hard to subdue the butterflies that were now fluttering manically in her belly, but failed once she felt his warm breath on her inner thigh. She squirmed with anticipation and her tail twitched even more, lolling its tongue out expectantly. Every second that passed and every small movement he made as he neared her sex felt like an agonizing eternity. Then, all at once, she squealed in surprise as a shock when through her when his lips made contact. Her tail lurched with the sudden sensation, and she in turn couldn't keep from squirming as his tongue came into play. It glided along her outer labia, sending pleasant waves of pleasure streaming through her, and she started to pant.

She felt herself grow even hotter, not even noticing the chill anymore. She felt as if a part of her was opening even more for him, and Cody took the initiative enter further. His tongue slid between her folds and she shivered ecstatically as she gripped the sheets. Her tail was slinking through the air, giving physical form to the turbulence of sensations within her. He kept this up for some time, though neither could tell for how long; Ojiko just rode out the waves with a smile of pure bliss decorating her features.

Suddenly she gasped as a sudden jolt of pleasure coursed through her, the feeling of Cody's mouth over her clit making her tense up. Moments later she arched her back and cried out his name in ecstasy as her climax hit her like a tsunami, quivering in delight with her orgasmic rapture.

Her ride on cloud nine felt like it lasted for ages, but whether it was seconds or minutes later she eventually descended back to earth; back to her room where she found Cody lying next to her with a pleasant smile on his face. She glanced woozily at him, a contented smile on her own lips as she turned to face him, placing a hand lightly on his cheek.

"Cody... I don't know what to say!"

He just kept smiling as he said softly, "No need to say anything. Just showing my gratitude to my gracious and beautiful hostess!"

Ojiko giggled, even though an embarrassed flush remained. "Stop it! Besides, you've been talking cheesy since we started! You should be the embarrassed one!"

He laughed too. "True! At least you're forgiving about it though. Sammy would have beaten me to a pulp already for so many 'cheese' violations!"

They laughed together at that. They nuzzled into each other, then they wrapped the comforter around themselves and nestled into a cozy little shared cocoon before they eventually drifted off to sleep.
